The ACT Health Directorate (ACTHD) is undertaking a commissioning process of ACTHD-funded, mental health NGO services. Visit the ACT Commissioning page for more information about this and other sub-sectors involved in commissioning.
The Youth Coalition has actively participated in the commissioning process of the mental health NGO sub-sector, by participating in workshops, leading consultations and developing written responses.
In July 2023, the Youth Coalition provided a written response as part of the ‘Design’ phase of commissioning.
Following the release of the Insights Report in June 2024, the Youth Coalition provided an additional response to inform the development of the Investment Strategy for the ACT Mental Health NGO Sub-Sector; as part of the mental health commissioning process.
Our response provides feedback on key components of the Insights Report as they relate to children and young people, and presents considerations for the forthcoming Investment Strategy, regarding the child and youth component of the mental health NGO sub-sector.
